The fact is, a pet unrestrained in the car can be dangerous. Don’t take any chances—protect your pet, yourself, and others in the car by making sure everyone is securely buckled in. This harness loops around all types of seat belts so you can drive without distraction. Here’s another product to make traveling with your pet more enjoyable... This Solvit Booster SeaT gets great reviews, but mainly from owners of much smaller dogs than pictured.

Now your furry friend can get a clear view of the road ahead. This booster seat fits over the headrest with no straps to block your pet’s view. Although the product is advertised as suitable for pets up to 25 lbs., reviews indicate that it works best with smaller dogs around 10 pounds or so. The built in leash strap is also reported as very short, to keep the pup inside the basket. If you have a toy dog, this would be wonderful to give him a lift and premier view, as well as keep your car spotless. It retails for about $45 on Amazon. This particular Solvit Waterproof Hammock retails for $39.99 but can usually be found on Amazon for $29.

Waterproof Hammock Seat Cover

There’s nothing better than catching a few zzz's in a hammock. Now your dog can travel while relaxing in a portable hammock. The Waterproof Hammock Pet Seat Cover is machine washable and lets your pal get comfortable in the backseat as you head down the road. Pet hammocks are one of the best inventions for traveling with your pet yet, and many dog owners swear by them as they don't need exact fitting. Expect to pay between $15 on the low end and $50 on the high end for a full backseat hammock. Looking to give your pet the run of the backseat without any trouble? This may be just the thing for you! For around $25, this could be a good safety investment. Just make sure your dog is not likely to go under the bottom.
